I would like to take this opportunity to say that I agree with Frozen Pilgrim.

Also, T-REV will henceforth be refered to as Chad.

If somebody gets offended by a repeat thread on a fucking forum, they might need to get a life.

nobody gets "offended". it's just detrimental to the function of the board. it's a forum, not a chat room- people come here for answers, and the more (near) duplicate threads there are, the harder it becomes for lurkers (not regulars) to find what they're looking for.

I've typed in the names of threads word for word into search and occasionally the actual thread won't even be in the top five or ten hits

that does happen cuz it happens to me too but you just scroll down and it is usually there ...x****

the trick is searching in thread TITLES, not in the body of posts. advanced search.

i guess where i am wishy washy on this ..... if you post a thread on the same page only titled different, that is lame ... if you want to talk about , i dont know pink floyd, and you went thru a few pages, then a new thread is ok ....i know of times when there were like three threads on the first page of this board and someone posts another one ... i avoid creating new threads, but i might have made 20 or so in the last couple of years .. x****

search seems to require exact word matches. when I searched for 'dream' I couldn't find the thread titled 'dreams'. fucking retarded. but once you realize that you can make it work.
